flashing/flickering text

[ubemotho]

when enable highlight_words text is flicker like in this example openai/whisper#1072

The.Hacker.Quarantine.Short.Film.1080p_25fps_H264-128kbit_AAC._burn-in_1920x1080_x264.mp4

i used this for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErRr-vA7_-U

i dont know if this a problem from whisperx or faster-whisper implementation
but it should be fixed in whisper in this commit openai/whisper#1087
